With Trump’s alarming death threats against Democratic leaders and his sickening support for authoritarian regimes and aggressive treatment of female reporters, the risk to democracy is soaring. On the home front, the US Ambassador is back to bullying us, demanding that Canada invest in fighter jets or else. Yet, while these pressures mount, Prime Minister Mark Carney is stepping up, cultivating strong international alliances and earning high praise from countries like Sweden—all while skillfully managing a substantial budget.

Meanwhile, Pierre Poilievre’s so-called Clown Party of Canada is hiding behind the curtains during the budget vote they lost! On top of that, we have Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles being ousted from Queen's Park for courageously calling out Premier Ford’s corruption amidst the #StripperGate scandal. It’s undeniably been a whirlwind week in Canadian politics!

Join host Laura Babcock and insightful guests Mark Cripps and Keith Leslie as they navigate these pressing issues with wit and vigour. This isn't just another political commentary; it's a vital dialogue for every citizen who cherishes democracy.
